they are making money out of other people's misery quite literally the old many of them sponsoring the paralympics is something is really lost on them and he seems to divide people into the serving disabled and the un to serving tony bradstock went through an at orsa sesame which resulted in him losing his entire income for six months he says he was made to feel like a criminal and the process resulted in him attempting suicide. intercession is going to work and. it's a disposable. strickly sit and watch. the exposure of what moral people will stop through a shade she took a great knowledge from others because i couldn't find any why i took the roof over my head. i couldn't see any y.i.t. he's not alone pressure groups a thirty two people died a week after being found to work by at elves disabled people and other activists

have travelled here from all over the country to recessed against actresses sponsorship of the hour live next day you know i sit in that admiration for paralympic themselves but say an organization and they feel that she was odin route disabled people should play no part in this ticket but. in a statement the company defends its practices and policies responsibility back to the government department for work and pensions which actually makes the final decision. we do not mean decisions on people's benefit entitle him and we're mostly a poor who continue to make sure that the service we provide is as highly professional and compassionate is it can be but disability activists say that's just passing the buck and that his sponsorship of the games gives it a whitewash it doesn't deserve they're trying to clean up very major by trying to associate themselves with it's both sides you know this is so disability it's

peoples activity has really given the other side about how alcohol floats how they kill people like ultimate team g.b. athletes appeared to highlight the grundig on their paralympic accreditation during the opening ceremony but activists say that's not enough when at all said the government expect to cause a round hole for a million people to lose their independent living benefits in the next four years. r.t. . here with r t still ahead for you in the program. the u.s. and israel are left embarrassed as more than one hundred nations supported iran's atomic program as experts believe the country needs it has a repellent against international military aggression and. also echoes of war in the black scene munitions dumped in the water seventeen years ago are still threatening tourist hot spots. tens of thousands of protesters have all of the main highway leading to bahrain's capital manama to demand greater freedoms and

a democratic government the demonstrators held up with banners and flags urging the release of jailed dissidents including human rights activists job the shia majority state which is ruled by a western backed sunni dynasty has been hit by unrest and protests for over eighteen months now the u.s. has been supporting bahrain's regime with its fifth fleet based in the country calling cavalli former political studies professor at the university of bahrain believes it's getting did. calls for washington to maintain its influence in the country. the united states wants to retain attach him out of control not only aware bahrain but over the entire persian gulf monarchies than the entire middle east in order to keep that crude oil flowing however they realize that with increasing democratic opposition in all these countries that they can no longer rely on the autocratic dictators to maintain control and this is particularly true in bahrain

where the population three quarters of the population are out on the streets on a regular basis telling the government to leave saying we are no longer in support of monarchy we don't respect you and we don't fear you anymore so what the u.s. is doing with president barack obama is to replace these autocratic despot we started with the north african regime egypt mubarak was removed in egypt we had ben ali go we had khadafi go with. the regime in yemen go and so now if iraq obama is reelected and november sixth so this year then he will complete edge i'm on a transition lead regime. more than one hundred nations have unanimously supported iran's nuclear program as long as it's used for people's full purposes after the nonaligned movement wrapped up in tehran it amounts to a resounding slap in the face for the us and israel have been trying to downplay

the role of the gathering the latest i know a report issued during the summit claimed iran has doubled its nuclear capacity by installing newer you radium in richmond centrifuges to iran the object of the document saying it was all politically motivated geo political analyst eric draitser thinks the i.a.e.a. has never been an impartial body. the iranians do it partially for self-preservation they also do it for propaganda purposes and to lend themselves clout on the world stage they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as it is now accepted international law so i think that's the first one the second one of course is the geo political reality that they look around them you look at the map and they see that they are surrounded literally on all sides by the united states or various allies of the united states and the principle is quite clear that the united states will invade nations that do not have the threat of nuclear weapons and the united

states does not invade the nations that do have that threat. a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a. is always led by us produced think tank individuals like l. barra die or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law cited mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran says iran would never have launched a nuclear program but for international pressure. the iranians are saying that this report came at a sensitive time to sort of distract attention away from this iranian success the nonaligned movement. conference in tehran has been highly successful instead of iran being isolated the united states has become isolated assented opposed senior

figures going to tehran and many major world leaders have come to the country in addition the president of egypt seem to be iran which is a political earthquake the iranians are producing uranium. enrichment at twenty percent for him so if he's in tehran we should then produce medical isotopes the fact that the united states and the europeans tried to prevent iran from obtaining this fuel in the past met that meant that they were taking iranian cancer patients hostage the irony here is that the iranians at the beginning had no intention whatsoever to produce your aenima twenty percent and then produce nuclear fuel but the americans and the europeans by taking iranian citizens and people hostage for sea iranians to take that step the politicians senior politicians really know that an attack on iran would be devastating for the united

states and not only for its economy but for its global position and its credibility . the washington seems reluctant to endorse a strike on iran israel is getting all geared up for it people in tel aviv have been practicing emergency drills which simulate missile attacks and as artie's policy reports war preparations have also moved to the ideological arena as well. this fifteen page emergency brochure is being distributed by the israeli army across the country and it puts a rather smiling face on very serious and grim statistics the brush it takes about what people should do in a state of emergency it says that there is a need for family told the families to get together and talk about what to do if this country is in a state of crisis at the same time it is that anywhere between fifty fifty and three minutes is the time frame that israelis will have from the moment fire when found until there is a state of emergency care and also going to people to go and check that they bomb

shelters up to scratch now the pressure doesn't make any mention of any kind of meat on the ranch but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there have been those who suggested that it is really the day to day by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly for that kind of recreated coming out of the israeli political elite some officials have said that we're looking at a civilian council some five hundred people in any kind of war that would follow and it's raining strike on the run parallel to the brochure there is an advert that you fly thing on his radio television and it shows a way in general we sit with the israeli army officer and they're trying to convince him to him this of putting in an israeli attack on an enemy date presumably in russia to be gentle and seven days to take the same bite out of the shop to pay for not getting in front of him and he said something i didn't mind the snow let go not with the israelis misinterpret to mean that you have given them the

green light to the operation of the missiles not to fall fly and you have those who want to move situation the israelis so we have been putting up with a repeat and it does seem as if there is something on the go we have heard some israeli politicians on record saying that a strike on iran is going to happen soon but the official line to be from the government in terms of. this is fresh air and when we go on like that it is nothing more than just the general public awareness paying people to take me to know what to do in a state that's what they are. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines for you around the world. a double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan has killed at least thirteen people including nine civilians more than seventy others were wounded as well a bomber on foot was followed by a truck driven by another attacker who's device exploded shortly afterwards and the taliban have already claimed responsibility for the blast. in belgium protests

against the early release of the accomplice and ex-wife of a notorious pedophile killer have ended in scuffles with police the demonstration took place outside a convent where michel martin has been sent after serving just over for jail sentence the woman was sentenced to thirty years in prison for letting two girls starve to death in the cellar helping her husband do true. sex abuse is on the other girls. seven shia muslims have been shot dead in the city of quetta in pakistan police say gunmen on motorcycles forced the group off a bus and shot five of them two survivors tried to run away but were chased down and killed the attack is the latest in a wave of sectarian violence in pakistan and shia groups blame the government for failing to halt the bloodshed. the reaches of ukraine's crimea draw thousands of tourists every summer however a recent underwater discovery may compromise the resort's long established

reputation. finds out how far the authorities will go to keep inconvenient facts from surfacing. locals in the crimea admit that the tourist season this year might have been better but still we're talking hundreds of thousands of stories from all over the world who have come here for summer holidays but none of them are aware that swimming in the sea here by actually be dangerous this summer dozens of dead dolphins washed up on crimean shores ecologists say this is down to an infection and the actions of local poachers but others have connected these deaths to something more sinister divers recently discovered these barrels containing poisonous gas which were dumped in the sea by the retreating soviet army prior to the nazi invasion of one nine hundred forty one archives suggest one thousand two hundred containers are scattered around the crimean coast we have find and identified locations of around five hundred twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles eventually expired meaning that starting from twenty eleven these

containers to start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be unimaginable he prayed gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological watchdog firmly denies this threat even exists. are divers and specialists from the interior ministry checked the bottom of the sea or the board stories tested water for poisonous substances and we found nothing. but this recently declassified documents suggest the opposite in two thousand and four crimea's authorities urged private colleges to check the coastline for threats that is when those containers were found former m.p. oleksandr kusa is probably the only politician in ukraine who is making comments on the issue because she says the authorities are deliberately keeping the public in the dark and usually what it meant was that the mentality of the local bureaucrats who come in for a year or two now and don't want these problems in their hands meanwhile more and

more kids return to this virus infections from crimea the summer holidays and this is the. if i cannot project state of the sea water who says lifting those containers from the bottom of the sea is impossible they will fall apart that's why experts suggest a different solution. there's a technology which allows to see all these containers all for seven hundred years underground succumb for gases are constructed and put above the decaying barrels would solve the problem. it is hard to estimate how much this kind of operation would cost but as long as these barrels are a threat to every black sea country key of would most certainly get international aid should it appeal for help this year's tourist season has finished with no major incidents but some say that next year unless there's urgent political action the region may not be so lucky alexi russia of ski r.t.

reporting from crimea in ukraine. moscow has been celebrating city day marking the anniversary of its eight hundred sixty fifth year and on our website you can see some of the festivities. right there there of the eight hundred twelve overture to watch footage from red square where an annual military music festival took place combined with a parade uniting elite military units from all over the world plus. mind games chinese scientists close the gap between man and machine by inventing thought controlled drones. also online and how one of the world's fastest developing markets has become

a battlefield germany looks ready to join the economic war between china and the u.s. with a wrangle over the price of solar energy in. the . u.s. presidential race is heating up with fresh maneuvering two months before the election republican mitt romney has slammed his rival barack obama for his handling of foreign affairs but was in turn accused of paying little attention to troops in afghanistan but how much do americans really care for pre-election exchanges artie's resident is in new york to find out. in the us republicans and democrats are holding their national conventions and here the media and politicians talk about them that the most important things going on

right now so who's watching and what have they seen this week let's talk about that have you been watching why not because i don't like either one of those guys so you don't watch and you don't vote and that's that no i do vote but i don't like voting for the word who's who's not the worst of the two. but don't you need to watch the conventions to be informed know it's all crap have you been watching you know absolutely none of it why now but i hate the republicans you know watch the democratic convention probably not why not i don't need to do you think there is actual information being said sad at the conventions or a say just kind of b.s. but i think it's sort of you know sounds good on camera do you think that these conventions actually do anything you know. spend money our money our money how do you feel about that i don't like that. i do we get them to stop because you know

romney's going to say leave town. the content is not so much the port important as the outside how people perform that that's my first impression that the people are choosing the heads not the contents i think most of europeans are through obama and that's it and you don't need to watch any of the badness you know really want to show us that i was really i mean congress or us is smarter than that that was really awful i'm sure what better way irritates me is that these people aren't too bad she's really think we're stupid what are they covering up well and she's a very intelligent lady but i mean she sat there for an hour striking mitt romney so you go well you know americans smarter than that you know that way i mean america needs someone to stand up and take charge i think let's face it ok. that are out for themselves that's it i give up on it but don't they when i mean it you're not happy with the way things are going and so the solution you've chosen is to check out doesn't that mean they they went for yes. yes so it seems like

most people aren't even watching but if you do decide to tune in and remember to watch it for what it is extremely calculated very expensive showmanship designed to influence the way you think whether or not that works is up to you. will be back with recap of our top stories in just a few moments you're watching a. line

in motion would be so much brighter if you knew about songs from funniest impressions some of. these for a start on t.v. dot com. i had a family i lived in a fairly nice community it was a rich it was a. upscale it was just like you know archie bunker society ok then they started showing up here what happened was my company decided i could get cheap labor and they got rid of. rosa legally blind legally

we have to get up every morning we have to go to work and you know we have to pay our bills and we have to do it and that's just the american dream and if you want the american dream you have to go buy the los i figure it's here's one of the major trails in the united states. i watch and they run run down my property and about this noise. was a little mean that cockroaches from coming over the wire is protecting the country i'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind it is pants dirty so i come out here you know we're all immigrants as well that we all here are some some are out.

oh. i think going down of the sun and good morning we will remember that we will leave . that.

live from our studios. this is. syria's rebels. are the. international flights shouldn't stray anywhere near the country's. no fly zone over syria. both. actions speak louder than words. with iran. campaign along with emergency drills. plus the london olympics a key sponsor of the games is accused of humiliating disabled people as part of the government's attempts to welfare. next r t we travel on board one of the fastest

sailing ships in the world. playing football in the scorching july sun of the iberian peninsula is senseless torture for some of these men others see it as a simple warm up before more difficult contest on dry land they see their rivals face to face but at sea competitors are nothing more than a blip on a radar screen. the wind and waves are the only tangible evidence of that determination to win. the crew of the russian three mast sailing ship mir has little time to prepare ahead of the second phase of the two thousand and twelve tall ships race

nevertheless a fine five minutes for a brief meeting ceremony. i would like to congratulate you today as we begin our voyage out to sea i hope will have a good start this time too i urge you all to do your best like it was. the crew success is a matter of honor for the captain and instructor of mir he will soon be celebrating his seventy fifth birthday and has devoted a third of his life to the world's fastest sailing boat victory would be the perfect gift that the crew will need to give it their all the first phase of the two thousand and twelve tall ships race ended with a discouraging result from the air. of the building actually we were the first to come in after the first lap but after time update we turned out to be third in our class of ships. and frederic chopin polish sailboats where head of us our sister ship from poland will be our main rival both ships have similar designs and sails

according to the time correction will last about thirty minutes during the first phase i. think again a thirty to ninety minutes will be enough for us to win here to give a long blast kept. such a long one by. by noon more than thirty sailboats have left the port of lisbon the second part of the race is short little more than two hundred nautical miles they will need to make up for the time she lost in the first place before she reaches the spanish port of kiss the crew unfurls mir sails all three thousand square metres all. over all of the boats in this prestigious class of ships near has the greatest claim to victory her rivals pale in comparison to the number of wins she has racked

up over the years she also boasts a skilful crew. strictly speaking these races are a side project from there the russian ship is primarily for training purposes cadets of them a car of academy a would be captains of the russian merchant fleet and they learn how to set sail climb the rigging and timing knots although in the age of nuclear vessels such skills seem as useful as speaking latin. your best and where you. will get your any seaman must have practiced as well as theory decides they need to have certain character traits epaulets as well as sailors are sent to other sail boats because these people need to make the right decision in the nick of time the sail boat offers the best schooling and character training. day pharrell of canada knows what the person of his mainsail wants him to do their

commands and not translated into english after spending several months on may he's used to the routine and what. expected of him indeed sometimes he copes with his assignments better than his russian comrades this is not my first time on this type of vessel and still aboard a vessel called the picture council on the around the world voyage and doing this made me realize i want to sail a tall ship a for a living and so i went to school to be a navigator and this was not one of the opportunities where i worked or was to come on the shuttle. there were about twenty trainees like dave on the ship like the sailors they keep watch and they also share courses with the crew there's only one thing that sets them apart they have to pay for the privilege this is a floating democracy even the old superstition about women on board being a bad omen is ignored right you know twenty young female cadets some trainees are taking part in the race. my name's lee and i'm from hamburg germany

and yeah this is my second time on the air i would say that the big guys help us but we try to do our best like calling the ropes and so on it's not difficult but it hard labor like we are right now i'm plotting the position in the atlantic ocean on route events and that's i plotted every half an hour i feel great about it we all work together as a team and we help each other through it also makes it ok. but portuguese pilot steering me and leaves the bay at two pm there is less than an hour to go before the race starts to motorbikes form a starting line none of the participants in the race is allowed to cross it until a certain moment the most difficult task is to make a careful assessment of the ship speed and direction so that she enters the start corrido exactly on time it takes some complicated arithmetic.
